Reply to comment by KonnichiwaAmigos in Hey! I’m David, one of the cat dads from the movie Cat Daddies. I got to take my cat down the red carpet for the theatrical debut this weekend! AMA! by KonnichiwaAmigos

No thanks. Having pets is enslavement, pure and simple.

Do you let them hunt? eat whatever they want? shit whenever they want? HELL NO.

You feed them pellets from a lab because it is convenient for you.

That's having a slave in your house.

If you don’t mind me asking, did your farm have animals and if so what was their purpose? Another question I have is would you consider having small children slavery being that you make the majority of their decisions for them or do you only support free range feral children? Just trying to figure out where you draw the line.

Obviously they don't have any cats or they would know who was the slave to who...

Our cats sit where they want, sleep where they want, play where they want... And if they decide that they want petted, they find a human and demand petting. They always get it. Our female cat's way of telling us she loves us is to nip our legs with her teeth. I think she is serious about the love part, but she also does seem amused.

Yeah there's some mild enslavement going on, but it isn't the cats.

I forgot to mention all three of our cats are rescues from kill shelters. So it's definitely a step up from their previous circumstances, and may have saved their lives if no one else adopted them.

Love this comment! We have 2 sisters that, even though they’re 11 now, still act like kittens! They were also rescue cats.

We definitely know who is boss - and it isn’t the humans in the household lol!

Just what I’d expect a slave owner to say.

No, it's symbiosis.

These are domesticated animals that live far longer, healthier lives of leisure than their wild cousins. There is mutual benefit from the relationship.
